Police in Oklahoma City arrested a man who posted multiple Facebook updates Tuesday night threatening a mass shooting in San Antonio as the country reeled from the massacre in Las Vegas.

Roderick Lamar Robinson, 39, was charged with a terrorism hoax under Oklahoma law and faces a charge in Bexar County of making terroristic threats. He also had an active warrant out of Bexar County for possession of marijuana.

Tuesday night, San Antonians took to social media to warn their friends to avoid North Main Avenue, a hub for the city's LGBTQ community.

Robinson, who goes by Rod Lamar on Facebook and commutes between San Antonio and Oklahoma City, posted a slew of garbled updates threatening to "kill all" patrons in the area.

"It's war b--ches an [sic] no one is safe on the strip," he wrote in a post that was shared more than 300 times as of Wednesday morning.

In more public posts, he said what he was threatening to do would be "more than" what happened at the Route 91 Harvest music festival in Las Vegas, where a shooting killed at least 59, including the shooter, and wounded more than 500.

The San Antonio Police Department identified the "strip" Robinson was referring to in his online threats as the 1000 block of North Main Avenue.

Officials determined Robinson was in Oklahoma City then worked with the local police department to apprehend him, they told mySA.com.

San Antonio police officials said they implemented additional precautionary measures, including notifying businesses in the affected area.

Robinson shared a final Facebook post Tuesday night, saying San Antonio had "nothing to worry about." "Nothing to worry about I'm so in love with the San Antonio strip I regret what I said," he wrote.

"Can't you folks see that I wish I could come back an cry an tell all of you how much I miss you an love you I'm so for real when dreams are broken it makes us say all kinds of things."
